The Temporal Power of the Pope.

In spirit Of fair play the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN presents its readers this morning
with tie Other side Of this great question Of
universal interest to all Chrlstendom.
The cardinal secretary of state presents
his side Of the question from the churchs
standpoint, and defends the temporal
ROVER in style at once Catholic and schol-
ary. The kingdom Of Italy, or rather the
Statesmen whn founded 1t, receive severe
cattiga'ion, and aIe charged with attempt
ing "to elevate the national editlce o. the
ruins Of the papacy," The cardinal claims
the pontiff's "independence" to make him
free and unfettered, not only as regards him-
self, but also as regards the world. 1t is a
mighty question and one worthy OF serious
consideration, interesting not only the
200,0O0,000 Catholics, but all the Christian
people of the world, and We commend the
cardinals letter to our readers az giving the
Church's views on the question.

The Policy of Contraction.

After his election, but h-forc his in IN srI-
ration, President Cleveland, IN his letter to
Gov. Dorsheimer, then a member of C)l-
Press, recommended the policy OF contrac-
tion. In that letter President Cleveland
urged the repeal OF the law requiring the
purchase and coming OF at least two mlllioI
dollars worth OF silver bullion each mpnth.
In his inaugural address ani 10 his first
message to Congress, President Cleveland
again and yet again urged that measure,
which was equivalent to contraction OF
over S25, 100000 each year. Mr.. Manning,
the Secretery of the Treasury, selected
by President Cleveland as his adviser
and administrator In financial affairs,
made urgent appeals to Congress In favor
OF this contraction, though fortunately that
body dlsregarded the advice OF the admins
tration on this subject.
In the face OF the knowledge that there
was continuous and steady drain upon
the currency Of the country the Presdeni
and his secretary have refused to Increase
the purchase and coinage OF silver to 81 01J,-
900 worth OF bullion each month, as the
law allows, but have only done what the
law cOmpcis them, purchase the mini-
mum quantity. II the administration hal
not been in favor Of the policy OF contrac-
ton, during the thirty months that have
elapsed since the Inauguration, in addition
to what has been purchased, slrty miiliOn
dollars could have been paid out for silver
bullion, and that much more money put in
circulation. The cost OF coiniug tnis sum
would have added another million to the
currency ailoat, and the treasury would SUI
have more money In its vaults by $4,000 O0O
than 1t now has,
But 1t Ia not alone In the endelvrr /,
stop and the refusal to increase the silver
coinage that the administration Of Pr-,i-
dent Cleveland has favored the pjliGy OF
contraction. The bills for the inprOve-
ment OF the natural waterways OF the
country, the cheapest and best methods Of
transportation for the protucts OF LAB r;
the bills to pension the brave deten +
ers of the nations life, through which
money, noiV being pdid as premiums 10 bout
holders, would have been given directly IL
the people the bill which provided aid IL
educate the ignorant children and thu
make them better citizens when gown,
which have been directly vetoed or almost
as directly defeated by the administration
all favor the policy OF contraction.
From the attempt to destroy silver In tht
interest Of the monometallsts an eXannl
tion OF every recommendation OF both the
President and the Secretary OF the Treas.
ury, In regard to the financial affairs OF the
country, will reveal the fact that contrac
tion is the policy of this administration
